M. Basil Pennington

A million readers embraced Basil Penningtons famous book Centering Prayer, which showcased a classical Christian spirituality and the authors easy, beautiful writing style. Both of those traits are also in evidence in the abbots new devotional Seeking His Mind: 40 Meetings with Christ. Building off his work with lectio (which is literally translated as "reading" but can mean soaking up God through Scripture study, nature walks, or admiring a work of art), Pennington offers 40 readings based on the sayings of Christ. Divided into three sections and ending with Christs passion and resurrection, this book would be perfect for daily Lenten devotions, but could be used at any time of year.
